Lin Yuhe didn't notice the sight that fell on him. He is very insensitive to things related to emotions, and he is not sensitive to his own emotions, let alone other people's thoughts.
He walked into the elevator intently, went downstairs, and habitually opened his mouth slightly to ease the pain in the eardrum caused by the rapid change in height.
Everything went smoothly as usual, nothing out of the ordinary.
Until Lin Yuhe walked out of the hall on the first floor, and was about to say goodbye to Mr. Lu, but unexpectedly discovered that the man got into the same car as him.
On the contrary, Fang Musen, who had been waiting downstairs for the two of them, closed the car door for them, and then consciously got into the car behind, leaving the two of them to ride together.
Lin Yuhe was a little surprised.
The school and Taiping Group were not in the same area, and he thought that the other party would ask the driver to take him off just like when he came here.
Seeing Lin Yuhe's surprise, Lu Nan said lightly, "I'll take you back."
He has few expressions and is surprisingly accurate at reading the looks of others.
Lin Yuhe didn't expect a man to do tricks to such an extent, but since the other party said so, he didn't have any objections.
He sat quietly beside Lu Nan, watching the baffles in front of him and the front seat slowly rise.
In the closed space, only the breath of two people remained.
When the car started, the warm air cut off the cold air outside the car, and the car windows were covered with a thin layer of water vapor, which made the mottled lights outside the car softer.
Lin and He sat quietly in the back seat, with their long legs straight together and their hands on their knees. He has always stood up straight and sat upright. He doesn't think there is anything wrong with it, but he doesn't know how obedient this sitting posture is in the eyes of others.
It's so good that it makes people's heart itch.
The car drove very steadily, and there was nothing in the car for a while.
Lin Yuhe's phone vibrated slightly, and the screen lit up.
Wu Xin: How about dinner
Lin Yuhe glanced at the screen, but did not return.
But the phone vibrated again and again.
Wu Xin: Remember to listen to Mr. Lu
Wu Xin: Whether it is in front of him or to other people, be careful what you say
Wu Xin: It's best to express your attitude to Mr. Lu, say that you will definitely not cause trouble for him, and let him know your attitude
The car was very quiet, and the continuous vibration of the mobile phone was a bit harsh.
Lin Yuhe pursed his lips, reached out and locked the phone.
The phone tended to keep ringing like this. Lin Yuhe was hesitating whether to turn on the mute or not, when he suddenly heard Lu Nan ask.
"What's wrong with your mouth?"
"Um?"
Lin Yuhe didn't understand, so he stretched out his hand and touched it before realizing it.
"Oh, my mouth is prone to dryness and a little chapped."
Lin Yuhe's lips are dry, and Yancheng's autumn and winter are notoriously dry. These days, the skin on his lips has become more and more serious. Although he drank water at dinner just now, it was of no use. Not long after the meal, his mouth was dry again.
No wonder I felt a little pain when I pressed my lips just now.
Lin Yuhe was used to this and didn't think it was a big deal. The man frowned when he heard it.
"peeling?"
He stretched out his hand, and the movement was not too fast, leaving enough time for people to react.
So Lin Yuhe turned his head away from his hand.
Lin Yuhe's evasive movement was completely a subconscious reaction, and he didn't realize it was wrong until he was rubbed against the side of his face by the warm and strong rough fingertips.
He turned his head back again, and said with some embarrassment: "Sorry..."
The lights in the car were dim, and Lin Yuhe couldn't see the man's expression clearly. He just guessed from his feeling that Mr. Lu seemed to be looking at him again.
With those dark and unpredictable black eyes that were born with deep light.
The man didn't say anything in the end. Lin Yuhe was anxiously wondering if the other party was angry, when his jaw tightened suddenly.
His chin was pinched with a gentle but irresistible force, and he turned his head forcibly, facing the direction of the landing disaster.
Lu Nanren looked cold, but his hands were hot. When Lin Yuhe's chin was pinched, it still felt warm, but when his lips were held down by his long fingers, he was scalded firmly.
"...?"
Lin Yuhe wanted to speak, but as soon as his lips moved, they rubbed harder against the man's fingertips.
It's still the kind of initiative.
Lin Yuhe froze and did not move. He tried to ease his emotions, but the situation couldn't be better—his upper lip touched the fingertips, and his lower lip rubbed against the fingertips, because the timing of the freezing was so unlucky, it was almost like pulling the man's body. It's the same as holding the fingertips.
The phone vibrated a few more times, but Lin Yuhe was completely distracted. All his attention was snatched by the warm fingers with thin calluses, the blood surged up, and the ears that always felt cold on weekdays finally warmed up.
It wasn't until the strength on his lips disappeared that Lin Yuhe regained his breath.
The clamp on his chin was loosened, and the warm touch remained on the skin, making Lin Yuhe's jaw slightly numb from the heat.
The fingers that had just touched his lips stretched out and spread out in front of Lin Yuhe's eyes.
With the flickering lights outside the car, Lin Yuhe saw a dark wet mark on the dry fingertips.
The man said lightly: "It's bleeding."
It was dyed on Lin Yuhe's lips.
His lips were so dry that they bled.
Only then did Lin Yuhe come to his senses from his astonishment: "...ah, yes, it's a bit hard to do."
He touched the tip of his nose: "Just go back and drink some water."
Lu Nan was silent for a while, then said, "Drink more hot water."
Lin Yuhe nodded, and answered seriously: "Okay."
He often comforts others in this way.
The other party's hands were still stained with his blood, Lin Yuhe thought for a while, found a pack of tissues from his pocket, took one and handed it over.
He was still a little unfamiliar with that intimate name when he spoke.
"Brother... wipe it off."
He felt that Lu Nan was not very familiar with this title, and the man paused obviously when he heard him speak, before reaching out to take the tissue.
Holding the paper towel, Lu Nan didn't wipe the blood on his finger, but asked instead: "Will the paper hurt?"
Lin Yuhe didn't understand: "Huh?"
Why does it hurt to wipe your hands
Before Lin Yuhe could react, the man's deep voice approached.
"I'll take it easy."
Lu Nan raised his hand and pinched Lin Yuhe's chin—he did this action very smoothly. He held a tissue in his other hand, and stretched it out to help someone wipe his lips.
Lin Yuhe: "...??!"
He was startled: "It's not for me, the paper towel is for you to wipe your hands!"
Afraid that the other party would really do something, Lin Yuhe hurriedly said: "I don't need to wipe it, just lick it and it will be fine."
He hastily licked his dry lips, only thinking about licking off the blood, but he didn't know what this action would look like in the eyes of another person.
The thin lips that had been licked were shiny, with a little gleam. Lin Yuhe couldn't see it himself, but somehow felt a little hot on his lips.
Like being stared at by something.
He raised his eyes and looked over, but found nothing unusual. The man had already withdrawn his gaze, his face was still stern, and he was wiping his fingers intently.
Lin and He felt guilty and felt that they had troubled each other, so they didn't look at it too much, and sat upright again.
Ten minutes later, the car finally drove to the familiar school gate.
The close contact in the confined space still made Lin Yuhe a little nervous, especially since Mr. Lu looked cold and fierce. Although he gave Lin Yuhe a better feeling to get along with tonight than he imagined, but when he got off the car, Lin Yuhe still breathed a sigh of relief
The car stopped at the gate of the school. After the school season, foreign vehicles are no longer allowed to enter the campus. Lin Yuhe originally planned to say goodbye to someone, get out of the car, and walk back by himself, but saw Lu Nan also opened the car door and walked down.
"Lu..."
Lin Yuhe was about to speak, but he couldn't help shivering when he was blown by the cold night wind. The voice was muffled back into the throat by a low cough, and there was some discomfort in the trachea.
"Cough, cough cough..."
He clenched his fists to cover his lips, and was about to pull up his collar to block the wind when his neck suddenly felt warm.
A dark cashmere scarf wrapped him up.
Lin and He raised their heads slightly in astonishment. The man was tying a scarf on him with downcast eyes. The distance between the two of them was so close that even each other's breath could be heard clearly.
Lu Nan's hand was very steady, and his slender fingers inadvertently rubbed against his cool chin, itching a little, Lin Yuhe couldn't help shrinking back.
Lu Nan flexed his fingers, his knuckles pressed against his white and thin Adam's apple, his voice was very low, but his tone was irresistible.
"do not move."
Lin Yuhe swallowed unconsciously, and obediently did not move.
The thick and soft cashmere scarf was wrapped properly, tightly covering the slender, bare neck, and isolating the icy cold wind at night.
The scarf is very warm, and Lu Nan's fingers are also hot. The double warmth protects the skin that is afraid of the cold, and people can't help but yearn for more warmth.
But Lin Yuhe was very sober, and once the scarf was tied, he spoke softly and quickly.
"Thanks."
Lu Nan pursed her thin lips, waited for a while, and said, "You're welcome."
He had been expressionless for a long time, even though he didn't wait for the word "brother" after "thank you", he didn't show that bit of regret.
Lin Yuhe didn't understand each other's regrets. The night air was very cold, so he took a breath carefully and said, "This is quite close to our dormitory, I'll just walk back by myself."
Lu Nan's tone was still calm, but he didn't agree: "I'll take you there."
Lin Yuhe didn't insist any more, just thinking in his heart, he didn't expect Director Lu to look cold, and he was so dedicated when he pretended to be a couple.
The two walked into the campus together. The boys' dormitory building was indeed quite close to the school gate, and it was only a few hundred meters away.
But before he got downstairs, Lin Yuhe heard someone calling him.
"Senior! Senior Lin!"
Lin Yuhe turned his head and found that it was two girls who called him. He was a little surprised, but still stopped.
His memory has always been good, and he recalled the person after he glanced at the other person. This is someone he met in club activities before.
After the girl excitedly called Lin Yuhe to stop, she was surprised to find that there was someone beside him. After she saw Lu Nan's face, she was frightened by his aura and became speechless.
In the end, the girl next to her quietly pushed her arm, and the girl came back to her senses, barely turned her head to avoid the land disaster, and thanked Lin and He.
"Senior, thank you for helping us bring the registration form last time."
Both Lin and He had forgotten about it, and only vaguely recalled it when the other party mentioned it.
He said: "It's okay, it's a matter of little effort."
The girl said: "We should thank you. Last time we wanted to thank you, but the senior said he was afraid of the cold, so he couldn't invite you if he didn't drink cold drinks at night. Today we have an event in the cooking club, and I brought you some supper. It’s still hot, so it’ll be warmer if you eat it.”
She was holding a pink stewing pot in her hand, which looked very delicate. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was not just about the activities of the cooking club, and a lot of thought must have been spent on this supper.
If Zhen Ling was here, I'm afraid Lin Yuhe would have to make fun of him for not being enlightened, but it is not Zhen Ling who is here today, but Lu Nan. He silently listened to the conversation between the girl and Lin Yuhe, with no expression on his face. But the more he is like this, the more people who are familiar with him are shocked.
However, Lin Yuhe didn't know anything about the hidden danger in the atmosphere at the moment, but felt that the surroundings were a little colder, and thought it was the cold wind.
"Xue. Sister is too polite." Lin Yuhe said, "But I have already had dinner just now. And this is a trivial matter, so don't bother."
The girl was a little disappointed, and her expression darkened.
After all, the girl is thin-skinned, the other party has already refused, and she is too embarrassed to forcefully give in.
What's more, Lin Yuhe is not alone now.
But she didn't say goodbye either, she stood there hesitating, and seemed a little hard to speak for a while.
Lin Yuhe asked, "Is there anything else?"
His tone was as gentle as ever, giving the girl some comfort.
The girl next to her has also been holding the girl's arm, secretly cheering her on. The girl finally plucked up the courage and asked, "Can I have a private chat with the senior?"
Lin Yuhe was a little confused, not knowing what the other party could talk to him about. I have nothing but...
He raised his head and glanced at Lu Nan beside him. In fact, he felt a little guilty for delaying the man for so long.
Now they are almost downstairs, Lin Yuhe is embarrassed to delay the other party, he was about to ask the other party to go back first, but Lu Nan tilted his head, and said lightly: "I will wait for you next to me."
After finishing speaking, he walked under the ancient tree beside him.
Lin Yuhe was a little surprised, but he didn't think too much, and walked to the side of the road with the girl.
He asked, "What's the matter?"
The girl took a deep breath, her face flushed slightly: "Senior, I..."
Lin Yuhe was still a little uneasy, always thinking about Lu Nan beside him, not quite sure why the other party had to wait for him. He was distracted when he heard the girl say.
"I want to talk to you about important things in life!"
"… ah?"
Lin Yuhe couldn't react for a while.
"That... I heard that the senior has been single and has no girlfriend yet."
The girl smiled and said in a very relaxed tone, in fact, a row of fingerprints had already been pinched on the palm of her hand.
"I wonder if I have a chance to recommend myself?"
Only now did Lin Yuhe understand the meaning of the phrase "Let's talk about major events in life". He was a little embarrassed for a while, and subconsciously glanced in Lu Nan's direction.
Fortunately, the two stood some distance away, and the other party should not be able to hear them.
Infected by his emotions, the girl inexplicably became more nervous: "Learn, senior?"
Lin Yuhe looked away. Although he was surprised, he still gave a very direct answer.
"Sorry, I don't have that idea right now."
As in the same situation he had encountered many times before, he gave exactly the same answer.
This is the most concise and efficient method, with a clear attitude, and no additional explanation is required.
Besides, Wu Xin reminded him several times that he must be careful. Lin Yuhe didn't intend to tell outsiders about Lu Nan, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
The girl was dejected, her shoulders slumped. But her attitude was also very calm. Although her eyes were red, she still smiled and said: "It's okay, thank you senior."
Lin Yuhe nodded: "It's getting late, go back and rest early."
The girl took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "Okay."
She waved goodbye to people: "Goodbye, senior."
After speaking, she ran to find her companion.
Although she failed to get what she wanted, the flamboyant skirt flew up in the night with her running, still young and full of vigor.
Lin Yuhe didn't stay any longer, he turned around and walked under the ancient tree to look for Lu Nan, his voice was still a little uneasy: "Mr. Lu..."
Lu Nan lowered his eyes and looked over.
He is taller than Lin and He, and he always lowers his eyes when looking at people. His gaze was as cold as a human being's, without any fluctuations.
But every time his gaze looked over from above, it always gave Lin Yuhe the illusion that he was completely enveloped by that gaze.
Lin Yuhe touched his nose and changed his address consciously: "Brother, let's go."
The two continued to walk in the direction of the dormitory building. It was cold at night, and there were not many people on campus.
After walking a few steps, Lu Nan suddenly said, "Are you afraid of the cold?"
Lin Yuhe was a little uncertain about the meaning of the other party's question, but he still had the other party's scarf around his neck, so he nodded: "A little bit."
Lu Nan asked: "Since you are afraid of the cold, why don't you wear more clothes?"
He actually used a very calm tone, but because of his consistent momentum, it was inevitable that others would feel a little reproachful when they heard it.
Lin Yuhe explained: "It was still warm when I came out in the morning, so I didn't pay much attention."
Lu Nan was silent for a moment before saying, "Waiting for a long time?"
Lin Yuhe didn't mean that, he quickly shook his head: "No..."
"I was working in the morning, and I had a few meetings in the afternoon. I couldn't leave, and I was delayed for a while when I came out."
Lu Nan's tone was calm, but Lin Yuhe was startled by what he said.
Lin Yuhe didn't expect the other party to explain to him. Wu Xin said about Lu Nan's promotion to the chairman, he didn't need to think about how busy the man is now.
What's more, it's my own side that is clinging to the other party.
He said, "It's okay, just be busy."
This time I finally remembered, no honorific title.
Lu Nan said nothing more.
When the two walked downstairs to the dormitory, Lu Nan stretched out his hand and flattened his palm: "Mobile phone."
Lin Yuhe didn't know what he was going to do, but he didn't ask. After unlocking the phone, he handed it to the other party.
Lu Nan opened the address book and entered his number.
The white light from the screen was projected on his face. Although it brightened his stern face, it also made the shadows under the browbones and the bridge of the tall and straight nose deeper and deeper.
Lin Yuhe felt a little cold for no reason, and quickly looked away.
Lu Nan returned the phone after losing the game: "This is my number. Next time, contact me directly, so you don't have to come out so early."
Lin Yuhe nodded: "Okay."
Lu Nan lifted his chin slightly and motioned him: "Save the number."
Lin Yuhe lowered his head to make a note. He hesitated for a moment, remembering that the other party corrected his address several times, and finally typed two words——
"elder brother".
Lu Nan watched his movements from the side, with no expression on his face.
After the number is saved, it will automatically jump to the address book interface.
In the address book list starting with g, there is no other note that is the number of "brother".
Lu Nan then looked away.
Lin Yuhe locked the phone, raised his head, and was about to say goodbye to Lu Nan, but heard the man say.
"You are still young, remember to discuss with your brother about any major life events."
Lin Yuhe was stunned.
People, major events in life
He looked at Lu Nan in surprise.
What does this mean... He heard the confession just now? !
